A LINE Or LOGIC
HARD TC
THAT'S
UNDERSTAND
One of the strange and amusing,
or should v e nay "tragic"' things con
nected with the newspaper business
is the viewpoint of many people 0:1
the value of advertising.
First, let us say, there are those to
whom "advertising" as such seems
worthless, but as "publicitly" given
gratuitously to further this or that,
is invaluable providing it doesn't
cost anything.
Drives for every conceivable object
their sponsors admit are dependant
for success wholly on the power of
the printed word. liillboards, print
ed phamplets. etc., will not suffice.
Only newspaper publicity will get
the desired result.
Why not, then, apply this logic
to business enterprise, where "pub
licity"' or "advertising" will do the
same thing bring new customers to
the doors of merchants, increase the
volume of sales of advertised articles
to a point where the extra profit thus
realized not alone pays the cost of
the advertising, but leaves an in
creased net sum in the pockets of
the advertiser?
There is an old saying that "sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gan
der." If Journal publicity is indis
pensable to the success of drives for
funds, of community activity, is it
not just as indispensable to the suc
cess of your business, Mr. Merchant
and Business Man?
Advertising (paid publicity) is the
life-blood of the newspaper business.
Without it, papers cannot rr.rvive,
and sooner or later pass out of ex
istence. If we can so materially aid
in boosting community spirit, it is
plain, horse-sense logic we can put
new life into busines3 enterprises
that realize the opportunities adver
tising offers.
